I loved it when I realized this with the multicolor sparks.
It tickled me.

But anyway, wouldn't that make OP's inaccurate in that Mokou's got a huge stinkin' hole in 'er and Kaguya's headless for at least enough time to catch her head?
.. Speaking of decapitation, would the body grow a new head or would the head grow a new body?

Life's not gonna suck, but it's going to be... odd.

10.000 years: Present civilisation will have crumbled. You will still be alive and physically well.

100.000 years: Humanity as we know it will be gone - either extinct or evolved/devolved. You will still be alive and well, but the last genetic human.

1.000.000 - 1.000.000.000 years: You will still be alive and physically well, though you may have spent some time frozen solid through ice ages, or been in stasis through a possible phase without an atmostphere.

5.000.000.000 - 2.000.000.000 years: Dark ages. The sun expands and consumes the earth before crumbling into a white dwarf. You will still be alive, though you may not be awake. Your location will be either on the burned out, starlit earth, or in the core of the former sun, depending where you were at the time of the cataclysm.

At this point in time, you will most likely have been alone for quite some time since most other known organisms will have been extinct for around 10 billion years.

10^100 years: The Milky Way will be long gone. The ruins of the solar system crumble. You will most likely not be awake, since your body will be frozen to -80 degrees celsius, floating in deep space.

10^200 years: The last stars burn out. You will be alive, but probably not awake to watch it. Your body may have broken into pieces.

10^300 - 10^400 years: The last atoms are gone, having dissolved into component particles. Near the end of this era the last elemental particles will have dissolved into radiation. It is impossible to keep a solid body in this universe - you too will exist only as radiation, though you will still be alive. You may also possibly be awake since this form allows movement.

10^600 years: The basic dimensions that make up the universe, including time, cease to exist. Alternate universes may come into being through new Big Bangs. You'll still be alive to see that.
Our current understanding of physics stops here. Enjoy the ride!

She's a being which can eat, and at times alter and create, history on a whim. I don't think her mind really works quite the same as ours.

Matter and energy had ended and with it, space and time. Even AC existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man.

All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also, AC might not release his consciousness.

All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.

But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships.

A timeless interval was spent in doing that.

And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.

But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.

For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized the program.

>No you won't.

You will. Dissolution into radiation is not a separate process, but a continuation of the process of being frozen solid in deep space - a fatal condition for a mortal. In short for around 10^500 years of the total lifespan of the universe, you will be going through one single extremely slow "death". Your body will not begin to reform physically until you are back somewhere that can support human life - ie. nowhere.
But let's say - as a thought experiment - that a little spot with proper heat, oxygen and gravity should appear in the dead universe, right where you currently "are". You'd reform completely and in perfect health, no matter whether your body is scattered into particles just one step above theoretical energy, since at that moment the process of "dying" ends.
You, as a contained existance, does not suffer particle decay. But you, as a physical dead body, does.
However, you're right from one point of view - if you define immortality as physical immunity, rather than an inifinite ability to recover, you'd continue to exist as you look now, no matter what happens around you.

And this... sounded so geeky it warrants posting my prize Mokou pic.

Nope.
You reform EVERYWHERE. Any damage will be PASSIVELY regenerated, no energy required.
Hell, they reform from NOTHING. Even if they were to be utterly annihilated, DBZ-Cell-style, their soul/lifeforce would reform their body.
